Getting Excited

This video enables the reader of my book to listen to the song “Getting Excited” found within the 40 Days to Deeper Prayer and Greater Self-Awareness journey.

Praised Be Our Incarnate Word/Alabado Sea el Verbo Encarnado

This video, “Praised Be Our Incarnate Word/Alabado Sea el Verbo Encarnado,” was written to share a song of praise to our Incarnate Word (Jesus) and it isn’t perfect!

I hope you enjoy it and join us in praising Jesus in the NOW, as imperfect as this presentation is! My love and thanks extended to Sister Mary Rose Kocab and Sharon Tressel for sharing voices here!
